Abstract
In this Letter, we propose a variable-line-spacing (VLS) grating pattern for a hybrid diffractive device termed a grating Fresnel (G-Fresnel) lens, which is used in spectrometers to improve spectral resolution over a wide spectral range. The VLS grating pattern disperses light of specific wavelengths with a different angle and position such that the aberration caused by the Fresnel surface can be compensated for. In this manner, high resolution can be achieved over a relatively wide spectral range. The VLS grating pattern is designed based on the least wave-change principle and simulated by ZEMAX. Results reveal that the VLS G-Fresnel device allows a subnanometer resolution over a spectral range of 200 nm.
